Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl methacrylate (50.1 g, 0.5 mole) and glycidyl methacrylate (28.4 g, 0.2 mole) in toluene (240 ml), 2,2'-azobis(methyl 2-methylpropionate) (0.8 g) was added, then the mixture was reacted with stirring at 80° C. for 7 hours under nitrogen. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into methanol (200 ml) and the polymer was precipitated. The polymer was filtered and dried under reduced pressure to give 77 g of poly(methyl methacrylate/glycidyl methacrylate) as white powders having Mw 35800 and Mn 19200 (GPC with polystyrene calibration). The composition of the polymer was found to be methyl methacrylate unit and glycidyl methacrylate unit in molar ratio of ca. 5:2 based on 1 HNMR analysis.
